After the care my mum had from the staff here, up to her death, it was a no brainer to send mums sister in to be cared for in her last few weeks of life, the staff were amazing, caring for her with dignity, and keeping the family fully updated . As this was a second relative that had used the home, I would recommend this home to anyone without hesitation

I have found the home to be caring and efficient. Members have been more than happy to set up Skype calls so that I can remain connected with my friend. This was especially helpful during covid and more recently during my own recovery from a broken leg. We have privacy on our calls and see my friend in her room. I enjoy any kind of involvement with the home for example I'm looking forward to the Christmas outing.

Your support for the Home is greatly appreciated.

Overall Experience
More training needed with catheters; often catheter is not attached to leg properly, needs to be checked in the afternoon as it is sometimes very full
and sometimes it has leaked. More use could be made of outside space.

Thank you for your review and constructive comments. I will share your feedback with the team. Staff are currently undertaking training in catheter care so previous issues should now be resolved.
The outside area is used (weather permitting) but we will certainly look to utilise this fantastic space more effectively in the warmer months.

My sister has Dementia and is well cared for at Alexandra, the staff are very kind and caring, the facilities are well suited to what comes across as a family environment. My sister appears contented and happy. Her siblings are all very happy with her care and we find the staff and management very approachable and accommodating especially as Covid 19 has presented great challenges.

My friend has dementia and until September 2017 lived at home with a care agency providing support on a daily basis which worked. However, due to his mental health and physical health deteriorating, he moved into Alexander Care Home. Ask me how to describe the care and support my friend receives in one word - Fantastic. The staff make the home into a home. Nothing is too much trouble for them. The residents' needs always come first and family-friends who visit are always made so welcome. It really is a home from home. My friend is very settled and likes all the staff. They provide a fabulous service. Thank you.

My mum has been in this care home for over 4 years and her dementia has gradually worsened over this time and she is now fully bedridden. The care home has managed through her different stages of the condition. I think the staff are a major part in any care home and the staff here are very caring and aware of each individual needs. Very clean and tidy and food menu seems good. Sometimes there does seem a shortage of staff present. I like the fact there is staff member for activities.
